(Closed) Bridal Shops!

So I know sooo many people who have had nightmare situations at David’s Bridal! So I want to stay away from there as much as possible! Anyone had some good experiences at Bridal Shops north of Boston MA, South of Portsmouth, NH?

I loved my experience with Precious Memories in Malden. Not a coture shop but the staff are wonderful, and their selection of dresses at about $1000 is fantastic. BTW, I started a thread on this topic a few months ago and got wonderful suggestions from the hive. ("Boston Area Bridal Shops" on the Boston board)

Marry & Tux is actually out of business : ( My mom is sad b/c that is where she got her MOB dress for my sister’s wedding.

I cannot recommend Madeline’s Daughter in Portsmouth enough! My sister got her dress there, I got my dress there, my sister got her BM dresses there and I will get mine there too. They have all types of dresses ranging from 600-thousands. You need an appointment though. They treat you like a princess. My dress lady is GiGi and I love her!

@Tennis – I am a NH bride. My only recommendation against MA shops is sales tax. Though there is no tax on clothing, they consider wedding dresses a luxury good so you will pay 10% tax.

Erindesmar! 10% on wedding dresses in MA! HolyCrows! I live in NH but our wedding is in MA so I’ll def look in NH over MA!! Mary and Tux went out of business? I saw a special on TV the other day for Mary and Tux! I can’t believe they went out! Bummer, I heard they were really good!!
